Conservative To The Bone

By Frosty Wooldridge

For 15 years, from the mid 1970’s to 1990, I worked in Detroit , Michigan . I watched it descend into the abyss of crime, debauchery, gun play, drugs, school truancy, car-jacking, gangs, and human depravity. I watched entire city blocks burned out. I watched graffiti explode on buildings, cars, trucks, buses, and school yards. Trash everywhere!

Detroiters walked through it, tossed more into it, and ignored it. Tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands today exist on federal welfare, free housing, and food stamps!

With Aid to Dependent Children, minority women birthed eight to 10, and in one case, one woman birthed 24 children as reported by the Detroit Free Press, all on American taxpayer dollars.

A new child meant a new car payment, new TV, and whatever mom wanted. I saw Lyndon Baines Johnson’s ‘Great Society’ flourish in Detroit . If you give money for doing nothing, you will get more hands out taking money for doing nothing.

Mayor Coleman Young, perhaps the most corrupt mayor in America , outside of Richard Daley in Chicago , rode Detroit down to its knees… He set the benchmark for cronyism, incompetence, and arrogance. As a black man, he said, “I am the MFIC.” The IC meant “in charge”.

You can figure out the rest. Detroit became a majority black city with 67 percent African-Americans.

As a United Van Lines truck driver for my summer job from teaching math and science, I loaded hundreds of American families into my van for a new life in another city or state.

Detroit plummeted from 1.8 million citizens to 912,000 today. At the same time, legal and illegal immigrants converged on the city, so much so, that Muslims number over 300,000. Mexicans number 400,000 throughout Michigan , but most work in Detroit . As the whites moved out, the Muslims moved in.

As the crimes became more violent, the whites fled. Finally, unlawful Mexicans moved in at a torrid pace. Detroit suffers so much shoplifting that grocery stores no longer operate in many inner city locations. You could cut the racial tension in the air with a knife!

Detroit may be one of our best examples of multiculturalism: pure dislike, and total separation from America .

Today, you hear Muslim calls to worship over the city like a new American Baghdad with hundreds of Islamic mosques in Michigan , paid for by Saudi Arabia oil money. High school flunk out rates reached 76 percent last June, according to NBC’s Brian Williams. Classrooms resemble more foreign countries than America . English? Few speak it! The city features a 50 percent illiteracy rate and growing.

Unemployment hit 28.9 percent in 2009 as the auto industry vacated the city. In Time Magazine’s October 4, 2009, “The Tragedy of Detroit: How a great city fell, and how it can rise again,” I choked on the writer’s description of what happened. “If Detroit had been ravaged by a hurricane, and submerged by a ravenous flood, we’d know a lot more about it,” said Daniel Okrent. “If drought, and carelessness had spread brush fires across the city, we’d see it on the evening news every night.”

Earthquake, tornadoes, you name it, if natural disaster had devastated the city that was once the living proof of American prosperity, the rest of the country might take notice.

But Detroit , once our fourth largest city, now 11th, and slipping rapidly, has had no such luck. Its disaster has long been a slow unwinding that seemed to remove it from the rest of the country.

Even the death rattle that in the past year emanated from its signature industry brought more attention to the auto executives than to the people of the city, who had for so long been victimized by their dreadful decision making.”

As Coleman Young’s corruption brought the city to its knees, no amount of federal dollars could save the incredible payoffs, kick backs, and illegality permeating his administration. I witnessed the city’s death from the seat of my 18-wheeler tractor trailer because I moved people out of every sector of decaying Detroit .

“By any quantifiable standard, the city is on life support. Detroit ‘s treasury is $300 million short of the funds needed to provide the barest municipal services,” Okrent said. “The school system, which six years ago was compelled by the teachers’ union to reject a philanthropist’s offer of $200 million to build 15 small, independent charter high schools, is in receivership. The murder rate is soaring, and 7 out of 10 remain unsolved. Three years after Katrina devastated New Orleans , unemployment in that city hit a peak of 11%. In Detroit , the unemployment rate is 28.9%.

That’s worth spelling out: twenty-eight point nine percent.” At the end of Okrent’s report, and he will write a dozen more about Detroit, he said, “That’s because the story of Detroit is not simply one of a great city’s collapse, it’s also about the erosion of the industries that helped build the country we know today. The ultimate fate of Detroit will reveal much about the character of America in the 21st century. If what was once the most prosperous manufacturing city in the nation has been brought to its knees, what does that say about our recent past? And if it can’t find a way to get up, what does that say about our future?”

As you read in my book review of Chris Steiner’s book, “$20 Per Gallon”, the auto industry won’t come back. Immigration will keep pouring more, and more uneducated third world immigrants from the Middle East into Detroit , thus creating a beachhead for Islamic hegemony in America . If 50 percent illiteracy continues, we will see more homegrown terrorists spawned out of the Muslim ghettos of Detroit . Illiteracy plus Islam equals walking human bombs.

You have already seen it in Madrid , Spain ; London , England and Paris , France with train bombings, subway bombings and riots. As their numbers grow, so will their power to enact their barbaric Sharia Law that negates republican forms of government, first amendment rights, and subjugates women to the lowest rungs on the human ladder. We will see more honor killings by upset husbands, fathers, and brothers that demand subjugation by their daughters, sisters and wives. Muslims prefer beheadings of women to scare the hell out of any other members of their sect from straying. Multiculturalism: what a perfect method to kill our language, culture, country, and way of life.

I PRAY EVERYONE THAT READS THIS REALIZES THAT IF WE DON’T STAND UP, AND SCREAM AT WASHINGTON , AND OUR STATE, CITY, AND LOCAL LEADERS THIS IS WHAT AWAITS THE REST OF AMERICA . IF YOU FOLLOW THE NEWS AT ALL YOU KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED IN ENGLAND , AND FRANCE AND SPAIN .

IF YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A BUNCH OF HOOEY AND YOU FEEL NO DUTY TO FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY, THEN I’M SORRY, I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO STAND AND FIGHT.

“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” — Benjamin Franklin

According to a 2004 telephone survey of a sample of 1846 Muslims conducted by the polling organization Zogby, the respondents were more educated and affluent than the national average, with 59% of them holding at least an undergraduate college degree. Citing the Zogby survey, a 2005 Wall Street Journal editorial by Bret Stephens and Joseph Rago expressed the tendency of American Muslims to report employment in professional fields, with one in three having an income over $75,000 a year. The editorial also characterized American Muslims as “role models both as Americans and as Muslims”.

Yet, your ignorance and hatred are reflected well in your post!

You sound like a Nazi. Exactly what Nazi Germans said before initiating the Holocaust against Jews!

Yes. I posted the article. I didn’t write it. You have chosen to cite a seven year old survey by Zogby. A survey will say anything the person paying for the survey wants it to say, so I put less than no stock in your survey. The man who wrote this watched these things develop over the years, and well known statistics bear out his conclusions. In typical liberal fashion since you have no argument you resort to name calling (Ignorance, hatred, nazi, SS). The fact is Detroit, a once great city has been turned into a ghetto by minorities and no survey will change that. In the future if you post a comment that doesn’t directly address my post, and amounts to nothing more than name calling I will not approve it. If you address the post with facts I will always approve it.

There’s no name calling here. The response is always directed at the author! However, people who post such anti-Semitic garbage must be advocates of the same. You don’t seem to have any issues with his anti-Semitic attack on a religion. That’s like some Taliban blaming Christianity for the invasion of Afghanistan simply because some of the troops are Christian!

Your statement: ” No Survey Will Change That” is also as arrogant as it gets and proves my point. Are you an advocate of Frosty’s frosted brain? What does Frosty know about Detroit and its history, population or demographics? Does he consider “15 years” of working there a qualifier to bash immigrants or a religion in general?

Immigration is not the problem! The problem lies in red-neck hillbilly minded people who want us to be as ignorant as they are! Statistics:

The racial makeup of the city was 81.6% Black, 12.3% White, 1.0% Asian, 0.3% Native American, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 2.5% other races, 2.3% two or more races, and 5.0 percent Hispanic (mostly Puerto Rican and Mexican). The city’s foreign-born population is at 4.8%. Estimates from the 2009 American Community Survey showed the foreign-born population have risen to 6.6%.

You may call it what you wish, but you have used guilt by association to imply I am a “hillbilly redneck” with a “frosted brain” who is “ignorant”. That’s fine. I doubt that you have any understanding of the Hart-Celler act during the Carter administration, or any real knowledge of Johnson’s “Great Society”. These two administrations did more harm to our population than anything passed before them or since (except maybe HC & START). Those bills destroyed the black family, and opened the door of this country to anyone based on race rather than what they could contribute to our nation. Every so-called “black leader” (Jackson, Farrakhan, Sharpton, Fard, Garvey, Boyce) is nothing more than a welfare pimp out to enrich themselves at the expense of black people. Black people are enslaved to the state because there is no incentive for them to better their lives without government intervention, and their so-called leaders support that enslavement. As for the Muslims they are enslaved to a corrupt from of religion from cradle to grave. They are the children of Ishmael (madmen), and only those who reject the insane teaching they are subjected to from birth have any chance to live in peace in this world. When they have no one else to fight they fight each other. I haven’t heard of any Jewish, Catholic, Christian, Buddhist, or even Scientology terrorists lately. Detroit is one of the largest ghettos in this or any other country as is Washington DC, Chicago’s south side and many other urban areas. You may spin it any way you like, but the bottom line doesn’t change. Believing one’s own BS and political correctness only make it worse. You can provide every statistic since time began and Detroit will still be a worthless ghetto.

Whatever. But I’ve learned something here: that the children of Ishmael [are](madmen), and only those who reject the insane teaching [of Islam I presume?] they are subjected to from birth have any chance to live in peace in this world.

What do you base this on? Can you quote something? A reference from the Islamic Bible, for example?

Yet, I think you should learn something by reading the following. Maybe you can shed some light on it:

“Today I fulfilled my vows, and I have food from my fellowship offering at home. So I came out to meet you; I looked for you and have found you! I have covered my bed with colored linens from Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon. Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning; let’s enjoy ourselves with love! My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey. He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon.”

With persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk. All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer[a] stepping into a noose..”

No this is not an erotic/ porn-story from some filthy magazine. It’s straight from the Bible. Proverbs 7.

It seems that you are very unfamiliar with the Bible! What “madmen” believe this garbage? And you continue to attack Muslims? Though I never insinuated that you were the redneck hillbilly, believe me, your comments make you sound like one!

The only reason I’m allowing this comment by you is to show people how desperate you are to defend Muslims. You took Proverbs 7 completely out of context to make it look perverse. You left out the first words of Proverbs 7 where the man is warning his son to not fall into temptations and perversions such as the one he described. You have crossed a line which I will not tolerate. I really don’t care what you say about me. I don’t need you or anyone else to validate my worth, but I will not allow you to pervert the Bible on my blog. One last thought. I really don’t care what Mohammad had to say. I know enough about him to know I’m not impressed or interested in anything he said or did.
